The hose inside the reel has been designed specifically for use with an auto-rewind reel therefore, it is softer than any of our other garden hoses to allow it to rewind neatly. This should mean a minimal chance of kinking. You would typically only pull out the length of hose required for the job at hand and then retract it back inside once you finish watering. Our Retractable Hose Reels rarely kink, not only due to the high-grade, durable material they're made from but because of how you use them. The softer and more flexible the hose, the more prone it is to kink. Kinking is probably one of the most annoying things a hose can do, and it goes hand in hand with how flexible your hose is. The Hi-Flow Reel is designed to provide a higher flow of water, providing better pressure overall. Often with Retractable Hose Reels, there is a slight reduction in water pressure this occurs because the hose is coiled up inside the reel's casing, meaning the water has further to travel to get to the sprayer than it would with a regular garden hose. This hose is the perfect option for those with lower water pressure at their property but would still like to have a retractable hose. The only 14mm hose we currently sell is the 25m Hi-Flow Retractable Hose Reel in both beige and charcoal colours. The majority of hoses sold by Hoselink are 12mm. These measurements are based on the internal diameter of the hose, not the external, and the bigger the diameter, the more water the hose can carry.Ī hose width of 12mm is generally the most practical and most common garden hose diameter, and you'll find that it's a good combination of water flow and pressure without being too heavy. We sell garden hoses with a diameter of 12mm and Retractable Hose Reels with a choice of either 12mm or 14mm in diameter. Just bear in mind the weight of your reel, as they range from 9.45kg to 13.95kg without any water inside the hose. If you have a Retractable Hose Reel, you may wish to consider buying an Additional Bracket & Tap Connector, enabling you to move your reel between more than one location, i.e. Our hoses all come pre-fitted with a Hoselink no-burst Hose Connector at either end, making them easy to connect with a simple 'point and twist' manoeuvre, which results in a 100% watertight connection. That way, you're not lugging around a long, heavy garden hose all the time. If you need a longer hose length than 30m, consider buying two Superflex Hoses and joining them together, but only when you need to go beyond 30m. You don't want to buy the exact size as any tug on the hose to stretch will likely cause snags and damage over time. When determining the right length of hose for your backyard, you'll want to measure the farthest distance from your tap and buy a hose that goes just beyond that. Hence, you should only opt for the 30m option if you have that much space to cover. Not only will a longer hose cost you more, but they're also heavier to move around, take longer to drain before putting away and can result in lower water pressure coming out of the spray end. It may be tempting to buy the biggest hose to cover off every watering situation you may come across but think twice! We sell our standard 12mm Retractable Hose Reels in 20m and 30m lengths and our Hi-Flow 14mm Retractable Hose Reel in 25m. To give yourself an idea of the length required, measure out your garden and envision how far you'll be unwinding the hose to water all areas you'll then give yourself a greater chance of choosing the right length.
